Five Lemons Laughing

Receiving isn't selfish—it's a sacred YES to love. In this deep and funny holiday conversation, the Lemonettes explore the true energy of giving and why receiving with an open heart just might be the key to joy, gratitude, and abundance.   Is it really better to give than to receive? In this soul-nourishing episode of Five Lemons Laughing, the Lemonettes dive deep into the sacred exchange of giving and receiving—especially during the pressure-filled holiday season. Amanda, Penny, Drusilla, and Morgan reflect on how obligation and people-pleasing can distort the energy of generosity, and why receiving with an open heart is a spiritual act of love.   You'll hear: Real-life stories about awkward gifts, love languages, and holiday guilt A reframe of receiving as a form of allowing abundance The energetic truth behind giving with a clean vibration The wisdom of "Don't block the blessing"—and what it means to receive with grace How gratitude amplifies love in every exchange   This episode will leave you with laughter, tears, and a few powerful shifts in how you relate to the season—and yourself.   ✨ Featured Topics: Giving from love vs. giving from pressure Receiving as a spiritual practice Transmuting awkward or unwanted gifts with grace Abundance mindset and clean energetic exchanges A Course in Miracles insights on worthiness and love     Mentioned in this episode: A Course in Miracles The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo Penny's birthday fundraiser for Community Solutions

In this heart-opening conversation, the Lemonettes (Amanda, Penny, Drusilla, and Melissa — with love to Morgan, who's out this week) unpack what it really means to be in a toxic relationship, and how to move through it without blaming, fixing, or abandoning yourself.

Are your thoughts keeping you up at night? This week on Five Lemons Laughing, we explore how to get off the "mental hamster wheel" of overthinking and self-judgment — and reclaim your peace. Inspired by Don't Believe Everything You Think by Joseph Nguyen, the Lemonettes share practical tools like the 90-second reset, the power of pausing, and how awareness is the first step to freedom.   ✨ Key Takeaways: Thoughts are neutral — it's our thinking that causes suffering. The 90-second rule can help emotions pass naturally. You can detach from the "bullet train" of rumination through simple awareness. Spiritual surrender and presence are powerful tools for peace. Ask yourself: "Is it true… or is it trauma?"   📚 Resources Mentioned: Don't Believe Everything You Think by Joseph Nguyen The Surrender Experiment by Michael Singer 90 Seconds to a Life You Love by Dr. Joan Rosenberg Byron Katie's The Work Catherine Woodward Thomas – What's True About You?

A real-life restaurant moment triggered a full-on spiritual spiral — and sparked a deep conversation among the Lemonettes about peace, ego, people-pleasing, and how to gently come back to yourself when you think you've "failed" spiritually. What happens when your nervous system spikes in public — and all your spiritual tools seem to go out the window? In this episode, Morgan shares a vulnerable story about being confronted by a restaurant hostess and how that seemingly small moment sent her into a spiral of guilt, self-doubt, and spiritual second-guessing.   You'll hear us unpack how to: 💛 Tell the difference between surrender and self-abandonment 🌀 Recognize when ego hijacks your spiritual practice 🌱 Reclaim your voice and your peace 🧠 Use visualization to gently rewire emotional reactions 🙏 Forgive yourself and others with honesty and compassion   We talk about: Nervous system dysregulation in real time "The shoulds" that sneak into spiritual practice The blurry line between speaking up and overreacting Choosing peace without bypassing pain   If you've ever wondered, "Am I spiritually regressing?" or felt ashamed after reacting in a moment of stress — this episode will meet you right there, with love and honesty.   📚 Referenced Resources: A Course in Miracles – Lesson 310: "In fearlessness and love I spend today."

Standing in Your Power | Ep. 3 Claim Your Story: Stepping Into the Role You Were Born to Play Claiming authorship of your life — what role are you choosing to play? You're the main character and the author. In part 3 of our "Standing in Your Power" series, we explore how to rewrite your story, drop old labels, and choose truth over fear. Plus: tools for emotional resilience, witnessing, and spiritual authorship.   "You are the character… and the author."   In this heart-opening episode of Five Lemons Laughing, the Lemonettes return for part 3 of our "Standing in Your Power" series. This week, we explore what it means to consciously claim authorship of your story — not the one someone else handed you, but the one your soul is here to live.   We ask the big questions:   What role are you playing in your life story — and is it the one you want? What old scripts or labels no longer serve you? How does owning your story change how you show up every day?     ✨ You'll hear vulnerable stories of shifting from victimhood to empowerment, letting go of attachments to outcome, and choosing peace over performance. ✨ We dive into spiritual tools like emotional awareness, the witness perspective, and declaring what is not your story. ✨ We remind each other — and you — that the pen is in your hands. What you write next is up to you.   Whether you identify as the heroine, the light of the world, or the joyful shaman, this episode invites you to own your identity, your power, and your path.

In Episode 2 of our Standing in Your Power series, we explore the deeply rooted belief that we're not enough—and how to release it with love, awareness, and spiritual practice. If you've ever struggled with shame, self-doubt, or striving to prove your worth, this conversation is for you. 💛   🌟 Welcome back to Five Lemons Laughing! This is Episode 2 of our 4-part series: Standing in Your Power — conversations about releasing the stories that keep us small and stepping boldly into our truth. In this powerful episode, Penny, Melissa, and Morgan explore the inner narrative that whispers "I'm not enough." With honesty, humor, and spiritual insight, they reveal how shame shows up in sneaky ways — and how to meet it with presence, compassion, and courage. Together, we'll examine: The ego's "specialness" trap (thanks, A Course in Miracles) How busyness, perfectionism & overachieving mask unworthiness Ways we seek worth through relationships, productivity, and approval Using emotion as guidance — not as evidence something's wrong The power of awareness to dissolve harmful beliefs Meditation, resistance, and showing up for ourselves Remembering that you need do nothing to earn love 💛 🔁 This episode is both gentle and fierce — a call to stop apologizing for your brilliance and to claim your wholeness now. 🧠  Quotes & Insights We Love: "Shame says there's something wrong with me. But I know the Truth with a capital T." "The ego wants to be special—even if it means being especially bad." "Awareness is curative. What we're not aware of will keep running the show."

In this week's episode of Five Lemons Laughing, Amanda, Morgan, and Melissa explore a question that touches every relationship: 👉 Can you be right and still be in Love (with a capital L)? The ego loves to win, to fix, and to control. But intimacy isn't something you can win or manipulate.

You'll hear: Real-life stories of ego showing up in marriage and family dynamics The difference between love (small "l") and Love (big "L") How "spiritual ego" blocks intimacy and connection Tools and practices: A Course in Miracles responsibility principle, Byron Katie's turnarounds, Ho'oponopono prayer, and kundalini yoga The power of self-love and awareness to shift from conditional to unconditional relationships ✨ Key takeaway: Awareness is curative.

This week on Five Lemons Laughing, we're diving into one of the most powerful affirmations from A Course in Miracles: "I am here only to be truly helpful." But what does that actually look like in real life? Too often, being "helpful" gets tangled up with rescuing, over-giving, fixing, or managing other people's experiences. In this episode, the Lemonettes share raw, heartfelt stories of learning to step back—so that Spirit can step in. ✨ You'll hear: Drusilla's mid-year check-in and her practice of releasing attack thoughts Penny's breakthrough about letting her daughters struggle (and grow!) on their own Melissa's insights on fear vs. love when offering support Morgan's Spirit-led moment in a challenging friendship This conversation is for anyone learning how to show up with presence instead of pressure—offering love, not control. Because truly helpful support doesn't always mean doing more—it means being more available to Divine Guidance. 🔗 Resources Mentioned A Course in Miracles — "I am here only to be truly helpful" (Introduction to the Text) Quote: "Worry is a misuse of imagination" Our coaching offerings: FiveLemonsLaughing.com 🎯 Need help navigating your own "helping" habits?
